Smarter Battery is a
battery monitoring utility for portable computers, intended to provide
you with all the battery data, to help prolong its life and
save its energy. It shows you the evolution of the battery's
capacity during the charge / discharge cycles and computes a
few important battery parameters, such as the wear level and
discharge cycles count. This program
continuously reads the battery data, making a prediction for
the time remaining; it also features two alarms, for low /
critical battery capacity, triggered by either values of
time remaining or capacity percentage you set.

The battery capacity evolution
is graphically displayed for up to 16 hours period of time,
so a complete charge or discharge cycle can easily be
visualized and analyzed. Both Calibration and Fast
Discharge procedures were updated to perform better on
Windows laptops or tablets. A battery gadget can be
displayed by this utility; it has many format options and it
offers you a fast, clear view to the current battery state.

What's new in this
version?

Up to four batteries can be registered
at a time (four serial numbers);

Optimized code for Windows 8 and 10, either
laptop or tablet use;

A simple
and ergonomic design, with larger fonts and buttons;

Accurate
computing for the battery wear level and discharge cycles;

Larger
period of time (up to 16 hours) for graphical capacity display;

Brightness control and Restart commands were added to the
battery menu.

The Battery Information
page is automatically displayed when this utility is
launched and maximized; in the left side fields are a
few important parameters of the system battery, while
the right side ones show capacity information. The first
battery found in your system becomes the current one,
and all the data and program commands will use it as
reference. Battery X is displayed in the upper
left corner, if there are several ones; press it to select another
battery, when it's available, and both information pages will be
updated accordingly.

The Capacity page offers you an easy way to
understand evolution of the current battery capacity. A thick
orange line is drawn, for a default interval of 60 (elapsed)
minutes, displaying the capacity percentage at a certain moment.
This graphic can be saved as jpg picture in program's folder,
automatically numbered (SBshot1, 2 and so on), using the Save
Picture button. If the Battery Mode is Discharging, a thin red
line will be displayed, representing the extrapolated
future graphic of the battery power, based on the time
remaining read from battery or estimated by the
software. For a good battery, most of the time this red
line should be parallel with the orange one, without big
angle changes (drops of battery capacity). The battery
capacity evolution is not linear in most cases, due to
the processor usage, hard disk
activity, screen brightness and so on. This utility version
brought you a wider time interval for the capacity's
graphical representation, up to 16 hours.

The
Settings page contains all the program options and two
customizable battery level alerts (Warning and Critical,
independent from the Windows' ones), on second page. If an
option is modified here, it is instantly executed; you can save
all these settings using the Save button from the upper side.

The second page contains the battery Level Alerts,
triggered by the current battery values: Warning Alert is the first one; if enabled, it will be triggered by the
value of time remaining or the capacity percentage. Critical Alert - when
it occurs, more battery power can be saved by turning
off the monitor or by putting your system in standby or hibernate mode.

Calibration page: there are statistical information for the
first system battery: the Wear Levels, Full Discharge Cycles,
Usage Time and other calibration values; they give you a
complete image about your battery life. In order to keep these
data accurate, this utility must be kept running all the time on
your computer, having the first battery selected. A Fast
Discharge procedure is also present here; when started,
it can supplementary load the system processor, modify
the display brightness and increase the hard disk
activity. This can be useful during the calibration
process, to speed up the battery discharge.

WebPages shows you several buttons connecting to the Home,
Download and Purchase Pages of the program, as well as the
customer Registration data. There is also a button facilitating
the e-mail communication with us; it automatically launch your
default e-mail software if installed any.

This program is a
demo version. You can test it ten times, each for
15 minutes; to continue monitoring your battery after
this period, you have to buy it. After the online payment, send
us an e-mail containing your notebook's battery code(s). The program license allows you to use Smarter
Battery on a single computer, for an unlimited period of
time. We will send you a second registration, for
free, in case you change the notebook battery
within five years.
